Salmon Teriyaki

Salmon Teriyaki

I make salmon on a weekly basis because everyone, including picky eater little G loves Salmon. Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and protein, it’s delightful and healthy, if you have a great recipe, such as this amazing, juicy, tender and absolutely flavorful salmon teriyaki.

This salmon teriyaki recipe is so easy. It takes only four (4) basic ingredients: salmon, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. I usually start out by making the teriyaki sauce. While I wait for it to reduce, I start to pan-sear and cook the salmon on a skillet.

I love to pan-fry the skin side part until it becomes super crispy, on low to medium heat. Then I cover the skillet so the entire salmon is cooked through. The end result is moist, tender, perfectly cooked salmon that is bursting with natural sweetness. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce on top of the salmon and you have a healhty, delicious and mouthwatering teriyaki salmon for dinner!

Okay, this just looks delicious and super healthy. Who needs Spanx? I mean, I love all those cupcake recipes I see online, but at the end of the day, I’m gonna act rational and eat this. Teriyaki is HUGE with my kids.

I noticed the pictures have been updated I prefer the older picture where the lacquer is not gooey looking. Will this recipe come out looking like the older picture? I was so excited to find this recipe.

I cooked the teriyaki chicken which you posted recently and I noted then that the teriyaki sauce should be made as close as possible to when the chicken is done. Because I made the sauce before the chicken was ready, it had become thick when it cooled and had stuck to the saucepan and could not be drizzled over the chicken.I had to reheat the sauce in order to use it. I should imagine that it will be the same for this salmon teriyaki so perhaps your readers should be alerted to this fact.

I follow you all the way from Australia :) I don’t know if it’s because our ingridients are different here but I’ve tried two recipes of yours and both of them didn’t turn out 100%. Bear in mind I’m a really bad cook lol. The teriyaki sauce didn’t thicken for me, I had it on the stove for a while. I used two tablespoons of white caster sugar.
